The only reason I'm giving the Marden Shopping Centre 2 stars is because it's right across the road…read morefrom me and because it has a Dan Murphys. Otherwise, it's pretty useless. There's a Woolworths which I go to, but it isn't very big. There's a seedy looking fish & chips place, and a couple of fresh food places (but why bother when there's a Woolworths?). There's also a hairdressers and a couple clothing stores. Again, nothing special. Food and alcohol is the only reason I go there.

I have to be honest and say that I sort of used to be a mall rat down here. Well, not really…read moreconsidering that I generally hung around the city as opposed to one of the regional shopping centres. However, this is a pretty decent sized shopping centre, probably the largest in the Northern Suburbs of Adelaide. There is a pretty decent variety of shops, and they have also spruced the entrance up a bit as well, including moving the cinema entrance outside of the shopping centre. Oh, and there is also a bus station that sends buses directly to the city along the O-Bahn, which actually makes the journey pretty quick (when some idiot doesn't decide to drive down it that is). Anyway, this shopping centre certainly isn't bad.

Back in the days of Happy Pants, flourescent sunglasses and talking your fat mate into doing the…read moreTruffle Shuffle, there was really only one decent shopping option other than Rundle Mall, and that was Tea Tree Plaza, or TTP for those in the know. Back in those days it was a fair bit smaller than the the multi-hall extravaganza it is today. With a number of extensions and the odd facelift, TTP has been surpassed by Marion as the city's second shopping destination, but it will always be higher on the list to me! Living north of the city sees me visiting TTP more often than I used to, and although I still prefer the trek into Rundle Mall, I find that almost all I need can be found out there. Plenty of shops on offer, plus a pretty decent food court with a number of options, keeps me entertained and fulfilled on each visit. Because it is spread over a fair distance (not to mention the mini-plaza that houses Toys R Us and a number of other major shopping sites), you can find yourself copping some pretty sore quads on a shopping excursion, especially if you are comparing prices, deals or are just indecisive like me! In reality, Town is by far a better choice, but if you live out that way and can't be stuffed with the hassle and the parking (not to mention save a bit of petrol money) then TTP is just fine.

Glynde Plaza is yet another example of a bad shopping plaza in the Eastern suburbs. It definitely…read moremakes it into my top 5. First of all, the Woolworths is extremely tiny, dark and has a very bad selection. I keep going back on the odd occasion because it's close to where I live and everytime there are at least a few things from my shopping list that they don't have in stock. The bakery next door is often half-empty and their bread isn't that great. You get the usual soft sandwich bread, no great sourdough or anything similar. Apart from that, there's a florist, a Panini Brothers, a men's hairdresser and a shitty discount shop with random items. I'd recommend heading down the road to Firle Plaza instead. Heaps better.

There's a chemist here that has quite a good range, but the other little 'speciality' stores don't grab my speciality button. The Panini Brothers IS one of the better ones around, mind you, and I've grabbed several pizza bargains in the late afternoons. Overall, definitely more of a 'convenience' centre, than a destination.

One day it could be imagined it will join up with the home hardwear section to the South, and there will be a kilometre long stretch of capitalist opportunity. It's unfinished yet but the basics and more are here to make this the go to spot for those in the local area. While it's new and expanding it's even worth to come here from further away every once and a while. There us a chance it will have shops not in your area. We can see this easily becoming a 5 star rating when it is completed. But, for now, we will certainly be back.

As a local business, it's hard to compete with international conglomerates such as Woolworths and…read moreColes. However, I think it's the exceptional service that keeps businesses like Romeo's Foodland afloat. As Foodland is franchised, products and prices vary between stores. The Erindale location does have a large variety of products, but has less to offer than some of the larger Foodland supermarkets around Adelaide. For example, the selection of fruit and vegetables are somewhat limited and sometimes no longer fresh. However, their prices are usually reasonably low and sometimes you can grab some great offers. Last week I picked up some bananas at only $.189 per kilo, which in my experience, is almost unheard of. The customer service is the selling point of this supermarket though. Whilst they don't have the largest range of goods, nor are they always able to compete with larger chains, it's the friendly staff that has me going back. Going through check-out is always a pleasure, and Foodland's employees always ask how their customers are and are willing to smile and chat. There's nothing worse than dealing with employees that are both unfriendly and don't enjoy their jobs, and feel the need to make it obvious to everyone around them. You'll never experience that sort of thing here. Also, for those that have trouble with multiple heavy bags, Foodland provides 'car service' and will have an employee help you to your car with your items. It's not too often you see that sort of service anymore!

This shopping district is petite but I couldn't be happier I live soo close to it…read more For its size there actually is a wide variety of shops. For one two full sized supermarkets (Coles and Woolworths) within metres of each other. As well as- * A chemist/pharmacy. * A fruit and veg. * Two cafes- including a Michele's Patisserie. * A sushi bar. * Just Cuts. * Bendigo Bank. * A few clothes shops- including a Noni B and Millers. * A health foods shop. * A nail tech. * A masseuse. * A gift shop. * A bottle-o. (Hidden away down by Woolies) * An optometrist. * The Reject Shop. * An Indian restaurant. (Outside) * Jets gym. (Outside) And yet there's still a few vacant spaces for other things to eventually move in. I think a planned newsagent is popping up soon. There's also a RediATM inside, and I'm sure there's another somewhere but I just can't remember where and what. There is a lot of parking, including roof top, underground and to the east side of the building. Each have their individual access points to the inside. There's also a lift which takes you to each level, and travellators (not escalators) so also being very easy for disability access. Next door outside is also the Newton Post Office, a Chinese restaurant, another gym, and another discount variety store. So simply said this convenient corner in Newton/Rostrevor is one of the greatest establishments in the area for basically everything!! And also if you do find yourself spending too much time here at any one point, there are two public toilets in the building. (One by Coles and one near the travellators on the main level).

It's easy enough to cross the road with your trolley and head to Northpark, so there's nothing stoppin you from shopping at them both.

DO NOT go in the toilets - they are filthy and the cubicles have broken locks. The centre is dark and on a rainy day the roof leaks. Recently several shops have closed making the range of shops in this centre even more limited - it is very hard to find nice gifts or clothing here. It is such a shame as this is a nice area of Adelaide and should have a better quality of local shops.

The alternative shopping centre I use if I want to jump on a 100 bus (goes past here to my place)…read moreand you know, a change is as good as a holiday sometimes. I really like a couple of the food places here - they have a good green grocer, very nice cheap variety and crafts store where you can get glass beads and cheap party stuff like napkins and wrapping and toys and all sorts of odds and sods (that's on old saying). The supermarket is not bad, there's some seating inside if you are a bit puffed out and there are a few stores where you can get a feed if you need to. One of the things you may notice around here is there are more Africans, because there just happen to be quite a few living in the Anglicare accommodation around here. As yet that doesn't seem to have made any impact on what is for sale in the stores here, but eventually maybe it will. In the meantime, this is not a bad alternative to my usual shopping centre; I do like to mix it up a bit.

Westside Findon Shopping Centre is a gorgeous little set of shops with a very friendly atmosphere…read more There is a strong sense that everyone knows everyone else, and the shop assistants always smile and greet you and are happy to chat. It gives the place a great feeling. It follows the usual routine of local shopping centres - a supermarket, a green grocer, butcher, deli, newsagency, bakery, discount store, cafes, grog shop and some women's clothing stores. This sums up the shopping centres around this area. The only difference in this one is the atmosphere, the smaller size and the age of clientele, which appears to be quite a bit older than average. Lots of little oldies come in for a coffee and a piece of cake at the cafe, and to do a little shopping. The one clothing shop here is specifically for 'mature women', so that definitely says something. There is also a large Italian community in the area, and the deli caters very much for these, and you'll hear plenty of Italian flying about if you're nearby. Ahhh I love the sound of that language. The only downside of this centre is that because of the relaxed friendly vibe of the place, we often get some feral children screaming around. But you can get those anywhere I suppose.
